The legality of emulation absolutely hinges on whether or not the alleged infringement is monetized.

You are absolutely mistaken. See Sony's lawsuits against Connectix and Bleem!, which were both commercial products, and Sony lost every lawsuit they filed against them.

I don't know where you and the other thousands of people parroting this online are getting this from, but it is not true and never has been.
